Golden age 334: I Won't Be Alone Forever

The third set is underway and both teams are evenly matched. Germany takes advantage of Kirihara's time limit to level the score at 3-3. Kirihara gets frustrated over this, but Tanegashima tells him not to worry about it. Siegfried, on the other hand, tries to rile up Kirihara further, triggering Devil Mode. Tanegashima immediately snaps Kirihara out of Devil Mode again by playing "Look over there".
It's Kirihara's service game. He challenges Siegfried with Focus Explosion, rushing the net. But Siegfried doesn't take the bait and instead hits a lob to run out the 10-second clock. Siegfried's plan fails, though, because Tanegashima anticipates his return and snuck up behind Kirihara using Ultimate Void. Bismarck manages to return the ball one more time, but Kirihara puts away the overhead.
QP explains that by erasing his presence entirely, Tanegashima becomes transparent.
By combining Ultimate Void on defense and Focus Explosion on offense, Japan holds serve and then breaks Germany's service game for a 5-3 lead. They now have an opportunity to close out the match with Tanegashima's service game.
Tanegashima hits his first serve. While preparing for the return, Siegfried notices that Bismarck gives him a hand sign behind his back. Siegfried realizes that there's a place where Tanegashima will definitely not appear.

Golden age 335: Guardian Deity

Siegfried says the place where Tanegashima can never be is right where Kirihara is. With this in mind, he fires off his return straight at Kirihara's face. Just before the ball makes contact with Kirihara, an invisible Tanegashima intercepts it. Bismarck concludes that Tanegashima saw right through their plan. Tanegashima declares that he'll definitely protect Kirihara.
Tanegashima and Bismarck are locked into a fierce baseline rally. Siegfried thinks that they'll be at a disadvantage the longer they rally with an invisible opponent and tries to intercept one of Tanegashima's shots. Tanegashima anticipates this, though, and throws off Siegfried's timing with Unborn Void. Bismarck pops up the return for Kirihara to put away. It's 30-0.
With this point, Japan has crushed Siegfried's spirit. Siegfried leaves the Pinnacle of Perfection and makes no attempt to go after Tanegashima's serve, which brings Japan to match point.
Bismarck realizes the state of mind Siegfried is in and resolves to fend off match point by himself. Volk snaps Siegfried out of his daze. He yells at Siegfried to forget about the Light of Pride, that's not what's important right now. Siegfried realizes that he should be playing doubles. He intercepts a shot, but moved too late and only manages to throw up a lob. Tanegashima moves in for the finisher and Kirihara shouts at him to hit the winning shot.
But, the ball never makes it back to the German side. It instead drops on Japan's side of the court. Kirihara gets mad at Tanegashima, but Tanegashima is nowhere to be seen. When Kirihara turns around, only to see the German pair engulfed in an aura.

Golden age 336: Towards the Ultimate Doubles

The chapter opens by replaying the previous point from Tanegashima's perspective. When Siegfried hit the lob, Tanegashima shouted at Kirihara to go in for the deciding shot, with Kirihara being on the move. But, the ball never makes it back to the German side. It instead drops on Japan's side of the court. When Tanegashima turns around, he sees that the German pair has achieved both Synchronization and a Howling at the same time.
Tanegashima suddenly realizes Kirihara's position and is surprised to see Kirihara standing over there. Kirihara yells at Tanegashima for letting the opportunity pass by. Tanegashima responds that they will communicate more clearly from the next point on. Tanegashima has a bad feeling about what happened.
Siegfried is happy about achieving Howling. Bismarck encourages him, saying that they can win now. QP asks Volk what that Howling is. Volk responds that it looks like False Sensation. It's a move that makes the opponents unaware of each other's movements. By splitting up the opponents like this, they each play doubles on their own and it turns into a 2 vs 4 match.
As if proving Volk's point, Germany hits another clean winner while Tanegashima and Kirihara have become completely uncoordinated.
